Pestana Angra Beach Resort

The Resort & Its Setting

Pestana Angra Beach Resort is part of the Pestana group's portfolio of Brazilian properties, located in Angra dos Reis on the Rio de Janeiro coastline. The town faces a bay dotted with more than 365 islands, and the resort's position makes it a natural base for owners who want beach access without the pace of central Rio, which lies roughly 170km away. As a branded property, it follows Pestana's standard hospitality model, which owners and renters will recognise from other Pestana resorts in Brazil and Portugal.

Angra dos Reis and the Costa Verde

Angra dos Reis is one of the better-known stops on Brazil's Costa Verde, built around boat trips, island hopping and calm-water swimming rather than nightlife or big attractions. Praia da Longa, a quieter beach about 5km from the resort, is a popular half-day trip, while Ilha Grande, roughly 25km away and reached by ferry, draws visitors for its hiking trails, waterfalls and beaches with no road access. For a city stay, Rio de Janeiro is a few hours' drive north and covers the usual Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf and Copacabana circuit. The region runs on a dry season from March to October, with the busiest local weeks falling around Brazilian school holidays in December–January and July.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Pestana Angra Beach Resort and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or as a rental directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, write your own listing, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers only pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because Pestana Angra Beach Resort is a branded resort, any resale transfer will typically go through Pestana's own transfer process rather than an independent owners' association. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort or its management: the current transfer fee, whether a right of first refusal applies, how long the transfer process usually takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. None of these figures are published here, so treat them as essential facts to confirm rather than assumptions — ask the resort in writing and get the answer before any money changes hands. A resale buyer should also clarify in advance exactly what transfers with the week — for example, whether RCI exchange enrolment carries over automatically or needs to be set up separately once the new owner is registered.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters considering a week at Pestana Angra Beach Resort are usually drawn by the bay setting and island access rather than resort amenities alone — boat tours, Praia da Longa, and Ilha Grande day trips are the main draws mentioned by past visitors to the area. Families and couples booking during the dry season (March–October) tend to prioritise availability well ahead of Brazilian school holiday periods, when local demand for accommodation in Angra dos Reis rises. Being upfront in a listing about unit size, week dates and whether RCI exchange is attached helps renters understand exactly what they're booking.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

RCI members with a week here should check exchange availability and current exchange values directly with RCI during planning, as these can shift from season to season. Anyone travelling to or renting out a week in Angra dos Reis should also factor in that many restaurants and attractions in the area operate seasonally, so confirming opening hours ahead of a stay — or passing that note on to a renter — avoids disappointment.
